Psychiatric Evaluation & Consultation
Every care plan at Turnwell Mental Health of Lakewood Ranch starts here. Before any treatment begins, your board-certified psychiatrist conducts a thorough evaluation covering your symptom history, prior treatments, family background, and life circumstances. An accurate diagnosis is the foundation of a good plan. Second-opinion consultations are also available for patients who want an independent perspective on a current diagnosis or existing treatment approach.

TMS Therapy in Lakewood Ranch & Bradenton, FL
If medications haven't worked, or haven't worked well enough, TMS therapy offers a clinically proven alternative. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain regions responsible for mood regulation, guided by detailed brain mapping. No medication. No anesthesia. No recovery time between sessions. Patients drive themselves home after every visit.
Turnwell Lakewood Ranch also offers PrTMS, a personalized form of TMS that uses quantitative EEG brain mapping to tailor the protocol to each patient's individual neurological profile. For patients who have tried standard TMS or want the most precise approach available, PrTMS takes that individualization further.
Hear From Dr. Upshaw on TMS Therapy
Dr. Upshaw has been one of Florida's most experienced TMS specialists since 2004. As a former VA psychiatrist and University of South Florida faculty member, he has helped hundreds of patients find meaningful relief from treatment-resistant depression when other approaches hadn't delivered results.
In this short video, Dr. Upshaw explains how TMS works, who it's right for, and what patients can expect during treatment at Turnwell Lakewood Ranch.
Spravato® & Ketamine Therapy in Lakewood Ranch, FL
For people with severe depression that hasn't responded to antidepressants, Spravato offers a clinically proven alternative. FDA-approved as an esketamine nasal spray, it acts on the glutamate system rather than serotonin, and many patients experience meaningful relief within days rather than weeks. When someone is genuinely struggling, that speed matters.
Because Spravato can cause temporary sedation, it is administered in our Lakewood Ranch office under direct medical supervision. Most patients follow twice-weekly sessions for four weeks, then transition to a maintenance schedule based on their response. For patients seeking IV ketamine infusion therapy, that option is also available on-site under the same clinical supervision standard.
We verify your insurance before your first appointment. Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and most major plans accepted.
